Conor O'Donovan

Conor O'Donovan, born on 7 February 1962 in Effin, County Limerick, is an Irish retired hurler whose league and championship career with the Tipperary senior team lasted seven seasons from 1984 to 1991. Raised in a strong hurling family, he was nephew of Terry Moloney, an All-Ireland runner-up with Tipperary in 1960. He played with the Effin club at underage level, transferred to Nenagh Éire Óg, where he became a senior player, and won a county championship medal as captain in 1995. Selected first for the Limerick minor team, he then joined the Tipperary under-21 team and the senior team, making his debut in the 1984 to 85 league. Over the next six seasons he won All-Ireland medals in 1989 and 1990, four Munster medals and one National League medal. First chosen for Munster in 1987, he was an automatic choice for three years but ended his career without a Railway Cup medal.
